vRO Plugins for Rubrik

Mon, 24 Aug 2015 02:39:36 +0000

Fellow Ahead employee Nick Colyer and I built some vRealize Orchestrator plugins for automating the configuration of virtual machine backups with the Rubrik Converged Data Management solution. The plugin will allow you to add virtual machines to existing service level domains. In the future, this plugin will be updated to include the ability to create snapshots on demand, create new SLA Domains and restore VMs all from vRealize Orchestrator. These plugins can be extended to solutions like vRealize Automation so that backup configuration can become of your company’s standard virtual machine build process.

First, lets learn how to get more information. Powershell uses cmdlets that should be in the format of verb-noun. So in order to get help, we use the command Get-Help. If we want to get help on a specific command we can run get-help [command]

In the below example we’re trying to get-help on the cmdlet get-childitem.

As you can see, you’ll be given some syntax and more information about the command you’re running.
